AudioQuest Red River XLR Specifications: Cable Type: XLR to XLR Analog Audio Interconnect Cable Conductor Material: Solid Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) Geometry: Triple-Balanced Geometry (separate ground-reference conductor) Insulation: Hard-Cell Foamed-Polyethylene Shielding: Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System Directionality: Direction-Controlled Conductors (RF impedance optimized) Terminations: Cold-Welded, Gold-Plated XLR Connectors Jacket: Durable Red on Black Nylon Braid Compatibility: All XLR-equipped audio components (e.g., AV receivers, amplifiers) Performance Focus: Noise reduction, distortion minimization, signal clarity Country of Manufacture: China Sold As: Single AudioQuest Red River XLR Q&A: Q: Are these cables compatible with all XLR equipment? A: Yes, the Red River XLR cables are fully compatible with any audio component featuring XLR inputs and outputs, including AV receivers, amplifiers, and DACs. Q: What makes Perfect-Surface Copper better than regular copper? A: PSC has a smoother, purer surface that reduces distortion caused by grain boundaries, resulting in significantly clearer and more natural sound. Q: What is the benefit of triple-balanced geometry? A: This design ensures that both positive and negative signal paths are equally low in distortion and that the ground does not interfere with the signal path, enhancing audio fidelity. Q: How does Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation work? A: It “shields the shield” by absorbing and reflecting RF noise before it reaches the signal-carrying ground layer, preventing distortion. Q: Are these cables directional? How can I tell? A: Yes, they are directional. Arrows on the connectors indicate the signal flow direction for optimal noise dissipation and audio performance. Q: Are the connectors durable for frequent plugging/unplugging? A: Yes, the cold-welded, gold-plated connectors are designed to be both robust and reliable for long-term use.
